In success of women, lies the country’s success. The onus is on us to ensure women become self-reliant, and active participants in our economy. Providing quality education and skill development, and facilitating access to opportunities, are key stepping stones. I congratulate Deloitte for launching the WorldClass initiative in India today which aims to support 10 million girls and women by 2030 through education and skills development. I am enthused to see that this initiative shares the vision of New India which is fueled by women led development,”

Punit Renjen, Global CEO, Deloitte, said, “Our goal with WorldClass is to empower 50 million people globally by 2030, by providing them access to the education and skills required to find meaningful work in the new economy. Across India, almost 40% of girls aged 15-18 years drop out of school and college, and only 26% of women are employed. There is a tremendous opportunity to make a meaningful impact and create pathways for women of all ages to fulfil their aspirations.With our investments in the community, we aim to support the economic empowerment of women which is often a catalyst for long-term sustainable change,”

The launch of this initiative was pursuant to the discussion Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan had with the Deloitte leadership team at World Economic Forum, Davos last year in which he had advised them to launch impact oriented large-scale initiative in India.
